Infusion Tea Wine

Experience this fresh, 100% Hawaiian take on a familiar pairing… tea and honey!

Infusion is a bright, crisp wine that blends the best of the Island. During fermentation, Volcano Winery winemakers infuse the tank of South Kona macadamia nut honey wine with black tea from their estate in the Volcano-area rainforest to create a vibrant taste sensation.

Honey of the front end, tea on the finish. With a residual sugar content normally in the “sweet” range (6%), Infusion actually tastes semi-dry to semi-sweet thanks to the tannins in the black tea. This unique honey wine is slightly caffeinated: the half-sized bottle contains about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Enjoy well-chilled as an aperitif or with company on a Sunday afternoon. For a twist on the hot toddy, serve warm with a squeeze of lemon.

Volcano Red

Hawaiians have long honored Pele, the fiery goddess of the volcano. We have created a wine to honor her tempestuous, passionate spirit. Volcano Red is a medium bodied red wine that blends both red and white grapes with the island’s exotic jaboticaba berries. It boasts ripe black cherry and cranberry notes, then finishes with a light-bodied pepper spice to mimick Pele’s smoldering heart.

Jaboticaba berries are a tropical fruit native to Brazil. Check out this video documentary (voiced in Portuguese) for a look at Jaboticaba trees, which are also found in Hawaii and other tropical regions.

Bramboss

It is said that in the days of old when the gods were mere babes, all raspberries were white. Legend claims that the nymph Ida was foraging for berries to calm the crying baby Zeus. During her berry hunt she was scratched by the bramble thorns of the raspberry bush and her blood fell upon the white berries, turning them ruby red.
